[racket] Splicing a variable to serve as let declarations

Or you don’t even need a syntax-parameter:
#lang racket
(require (for-syntax syntax/parse))
(define-syntax letexpand
 (syntax-parser
   [(_ alst body ...)
    (with-syntax ([alst (syntax-local-introduce #`#,(syntax-local-value #'alst))])
      #'(let alst body ...))]))
(define (foo)
  (define-syntax dave '((is 5) (fat 6)))
  (letexpand dave is fat))
(foo)

> Hmm. That does appear to work at a global level, but then when you attempt to use it inside of a function it returns "identifier used out of context". Trying to define-for-syntax in a local context also causes problems; "begin-for-syntax: not in a definition context in: (begin-for-syntax (define-values (z) lst))"

I am utterly failing to accomplish this. It seems like it should be simple enough to splice a variable's contents into the syntax, and in a sense it is, but not if I want it to actually then evaluate.

But doing that with merely (let alst body ...) creates an error because rather than splicing alst's contents itself, it merely inserts the variable name given, and then fails because let doesn't recognize it. It will work with a handwritten unquoted alist in that space, but this is largely useless because of course that's what let already basically does anyway.
